dov Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 A hair-raising story: From The New York Times Magazine, but almost nothing changed until today: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/27/magazine/air-force-hypoxia-pilots-navy.html There is a major blind spot in handling a/c. As well the ground procedure as well as maintenance procedures concerning oxygen are far away for a safe flight. The oxygen supply system in military a/c is a today sever problem. In consideration of the amount of money which is spent in weapon system and aircraft development it seems that this subject is neglected, there is no money or no will to solve it properly. Finally, it curbs and weakens the moral of flying personal heavily. It did not change much. Even in the last two years we had several losses, even on our beloved F-35. What do you think?

Now the Centre for Aviation Medicine, stationed at Henlow; uses Hawk T1 nowadays, although a new type will be required as the T1 goes out of service, of course.
